Question : I have a 15 day old baby girl....My query is regarding travelling/vacation after 4-5 months of baby care.

What is the right time when we can plan a 1 week outing with our baby considering we have all the necessary care items out there.

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

Ideal time to plan vacation with your family including baby is around time of weaning that is around 5 months of age. At that baby is quite old enough to enjoy , and also the feeding of baby will be much easier as the baby is not on exclusive breastfeeding.

Having some other person like grandparents apart from parents will also be very helpful in taking care of baby.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
